Heavy Climbing WFO

Hi, need WFO recommendations, I want to build a WFO for heavy enduro climbing and as well as descending...please your recommendation regarding shock, gears and wheels with good traction.
Also I heard that a new 150mm Talas is already available...would like to use this fork.

I think you will find the WFO climbs well for such a stout descender. Keep it playful with carbon wheels like the "wider" CCC rims but stick with burly tires like the Hans Dampf and you should experience the best this bike has to offer. In my opinion the Fox 34 is mandatory, this bike is hampered by a smaller fork.

People are using all manner of shocks on the WFO. The Monarch Plus that comes on the frame is a good option. I am using the Fox DHX Air on mine and I like it a lot. I have posted quite a few pics of the setup and riding photos in the WFO threads.

got a Fox RC4 on the WFO and surprisingly there is little to no bob on climbs..

i9's has the best if not one of the best drive engagement mechanism i have ever used.. Hans Dampf for tires are well worth the $$$.. then i'd suggest a 4piston caliper for brakes to match the bigger rolling mass

Heavy Climbing WFO

A buddy of mine has a brand new WFO which he climbs a lot with. He decided to spec the front end with a dual position Revelation, which he likes. I went from a Fox 32/120 to a 34/140 on my RIP and notice a bit of a difference in corners and braking. With him at 260 and me at 165, I would imagine the difference between the Rev and the Fox 34 would be pretty pronounced. He does like the Rev at 110 for climbing, though I've had no real issue at 140 on my RIP.

I have a 3X crank, with the outer ring replaced with a bashguard. I put the Blackspire Stinger on, and it appears to work well. I only have a few rides on the whole setup, though. I am on my work computer and can't post a new pic, but the pic is posted on this page if you want to see the setup:
